Speaking with a fellow member, I think this should be a fun one!
If/when the a*se falls out of the market, what watches are you eyeing up? I've got an Urwerk on the radar, but be interested to see what brands and watches you're cheekily thinking you'll be able to get on the cheap!
I’m sure I’ll be able to bag a Jacob & Co piece for a couple of quid

I'm looking for a 6105 8110 Proof/Proof and a 6105 8000 Proof/Proof
I'm hoping the Casio F91 will hit sub £5.
I hope not, I just paid £5.50 for one. Better flip it quick.Originally Posted by Tetlee
H Moser for a bag of sand and I'm in.

Any 9f grand seiko plus 5 digit GMT if they drop enough.
Genuinely it would be some kind of limited Speedmaster. I sold my hesalite moonwatch (the first proper watch i ever bought) and have never really recovered.
Possibly the new 321 / ultraman / tintin

All of them! But in reality maybe a polar 16570 for possibly up to a hundred quid less then I'd get it today. If I'm lucky. And not dead.
Plenty of WTBs out there and I have a few
I can't afford it at the moment, but if they becae really cheap, I'd like a Harrods Tudor.
Casio F91 as we will all be living in the Stone Age once again when this is all over...
There are a few vintage divers that I would like to get hold of, possibly a newish BPFF or variation such as the milspec but there is not actually a new currently released watch on sale currently that I am lusting over.
I think people will give a kidney for a solar g-shock

We could very much see a market correction with vintage. Worth keeping your eyes peeled!

Re-edition speedy mk2 racing or a skywalker on a bracelet or cheap flightmaster
Calatrava
"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
Speaking of Patek, anyone willing to put a figure on where the Nautilus will be in 3 months? WF have it currently at £70k
A 16800 or 16600 when they hit the £4K mark.
I think we're kidding ourselves, nothing apart from hugely priced stuff has any chance of much reduction IMO, but we'll see.
Cheers,

I doubt prices will fall that much down the market for sought after or high end pieces.
I think that it will depend were they are being sold - online retailers v eBay v watch Forums
A couple of Adolf Lange pieces, but more realistically an X-33 and a Speedy non-LE if such a thing exists!
Always wanted a Breitling, so either an Avenger of sorts or an Emergency.
With everything going on I've limited myself to a grand, don't know if it will happen but we'll see!

Navitimer.
I was hoping to track down a nice vintage one this year. Realistically, I was thinking the end of the year but who knows now? As I’ve been told to go and sit in the naughty boys corner for 3 months, I might have plenty of time to contemplate things.

Looking forward to getting a fifty quid Fifty Fathoms

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I’m there with you!!

How about boutique British brands? I think we should support small UK businesses who may experience challenging times ahead.
won’t take long till the “instagram rich” feel the pinch and need to dump.
RM010 or RM030
An Urwerk
Maybe a CS or CB when they hit 2015 prices.

A lange for me.
All seems rather trivial at this point though.
Given the big names have - or will - cut production, it's surely far more likely that used prices will turn the current bubble into absolute foam?
In the unlikely event, I'd like a good, modern non-LE speedy and a ceramic PO chrono...
I think whatever watch it was I would have to run it past 12manywatches first for his approval as he has set himself up as the forums leading authority on everything - tit 😂
Haha I did laugh at that.

Wouldn't mind an overseas if they become available with a discount

Local sale has begun
50% off Oris and all Rado
& so it begins.
Admittedly not the exotics that some are hoping for at bargain prices.
It's just a matter of time...
This will probably be what most AD's start to put on sale to maybe shift some stock to pay the wages but will look to hold out as long as possible before having to put the high profit into a sale. Having been in the centre of Edinburgh the past few days it was an absolute Ghost with every shop empty of people, multiply this every week for the next 4-8 weeks and something is going to have to give in regards sales of any luxury item.
Do enough luxury stores have the financial reserves to go 4-8 weeks with minimal sales, are they thinking that if they just sit tight and ride this out that everything just goes back to normal and people splurge the cash. After nearly every major worldwide crisis people take a pause for thouight about what they thought was important to them or made them happy etc and i feel the same will happen here, the normal just ain't going to happen the way the luxury market would like it too or believes it will.
This threat has scared and continues to scare everyone, with that always comes a change of focus on how you live life.
I think that's a pretty good summary of the way things are likely to play out. We're into uncharted territory here (at least in recent history) and that's bound to shift people's financial priorities.
Where is that if you don't mind me asking?
Sorry, currently locked down northern hemisphere, so Isle of Man.
It's just a matter of time...
The 50% off Oris has my attention as well.
Laings Uk have suddenly announced a Spring Sale on stock, looking to pay some bills i presume.
Largely a jewellery sale but they have included the pre owned watch section, albeit after taking half the available stock off the table. Not any bargains just mainly 10% here and there off but as they work on a 100% mark up from buy in price they are not exactly cutting their throats with these discounts.
It won't change my watch spending habits.
I get offered stuff quite regularly and really only buy vintage or used so if I see something I haven't seen before I'll buy it.
Cheers,
Neil.
If the watches I want become affordable, I won’t want them anymore
Curious, where do you get 100%, and is it not brand specific? I've sold to them in the past (not Rolex) and the window price was a 50% mark-up which as an opener seemed very reasonable.
I would be keen a limited edition Oris if i could get one at the right price. I haven't seen any major discounts yet for any watches....
A vacheron overseas would be on my radar.

Not a bad one - the blue version was available for around 12k around a yr ago? That maybe a good target price.
A PP annual calendar I was going to wait till I retire to buy one, but I am going to go ahead now as who knows how long I may be around for. So in my simple logic I may as well enjoy it. I will pick yp pieces that I like I fancy a silver dialled Aqua Terra on rubber as well as a white faced daytona to go with my black. So if a white one comes up I am going to buy it and wear the hell out of it.
Not going to buy anything I wouldn’t normally want to own/ wear anyway, but hoping for a better/lower price on watches I have liked for a long time. E.g. not going to buy some wacky GP three golden bridge tourbillon but will be interested in a classic Rolex Explorer or a nice day date, or even a standard hublot Big Bang
